The Package Request gadget displays packages exactly as they are organized in the package catalog in Novell® eDirectoryTM. The package catalog is the container structure where packages need to reside in order to be available to users. The location of the package catalog is determined by the catalog root container, which is specified in the OnDemandService object.
All packages can reside in the catalog root container, or you can organize your package catalog by creating containers under the catalog root. In the following example, Packages is the catalog root container and Office Applications, Virus Utilities, and Project Management Applications are three subcontainers.
The following example shows the resulting folder structure for the Package Request gadget. Notice that the name of the catalog root container (Packages, in the above example) is not displayed to users.
Because the Package Request gadget displays the catalog exactly as it is organized in eDirectory, you will want to organize the catalog in a manner that makes sense to both you and your users.
